Research abstract
AN ADVANCED, INNOVATIVE THREADED COMPOSITE FASTENER HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY FIBER CONCEPT, INC. THE NOVEL 3-D FIBER ARCHITECTURE OF THE FASTENER PROVIDES FOR THE CONTINUITY OF THE REINFORCEMENT FIBER THROUGHOUT THE PART SO THAT ANY MACHINING THAT IS PERFORMED ON THE STOCK COMPOSITE DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE TRANSFER OF LONGITUDINAL AND TORSIONAL LOAD FROM THE THREADS TO THE BODY OF THE FASTENER. THE HIGH SHEAR STRENGTH AND THE USE OF FIBER ARCHITECTURE WHICH CAN BE AUTOMATED WILL PROVIDE FOR A RELIABLE AND LOW COST COMPOSITE FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS.
